Milan, from Building the solo exhibition of Remo Salvatori

From October 24, 2024 to January 18, 2025, on the occasion of the seventh anniversary of the opening of the BUILDING gallery in Milan, the spaces from the building will host Remo Salvadori, a solo exhibition dedicated to artist Remo Salvadori, who opened the same gallery to the public in October 2017. The exhibition is presented in three exhibition floors: the bodies of Salvadori’s works, are conceived as acupuncture interventions, beneficial actions that enter the gallery space.

In addition, the project will be developed outside the gallery. The site-specific work Nel Momento (2024), creates a point composed of nine tin elements on the facade of the building, a seminal work in Salvadori’s poetics since 1974, now a sensitive surface. In addition to this, the exhibition includes types of works that are the result of a rigorously practiced knowledge, compositional attitude and discipline. The seven pure metals and their correspondences and symbologies accompany the artist in his artistic research: in fact, they recall a metamorphic and spiritual dimension.

Artist notes.

Remo Salvadori (Cerreto Guidi, 1947) is among the first of his generation to take on the responsibility and weight of the history and tradition that mark his environmental and cultural context, in which artistic action and his own way of being an artist are developed and defined. Starting in the early 1970s, he chose to use the photographic medium (even making use of common objects) to reinterpret philosophical concepts and archetypal or myth-related figures. His creations are the vehicle and outcome of a constant attention to what surrounds him and to what inwardly he verifies to be in close relationship with reality. External and internal to his own sensibility are combined in the experience of the work. The attention paid to the time and space of the work, as well as of his own living, is intertwined with reflections on color, form, materials, and modes of representation and observation. Salvadori has exhibited in major Italian and European museums including solo shows at Le Magasin, Centre National d’Arte Contemporain, Grenoble in 1991, at Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci, Prato in 1997, and most recently at Stiftung Insel Hombroich, Neuss, 2018. Important international exhibitions in recent decades where he has been among the protagonists are the XL, XLII and XLV Venice Art Biennale in 1982, 1986 and 1993 and Documenta VII and IX, Kassel in 1982 and 1992. Significant aspects of his practice are expressed in the volumes: L’attenzione divisa, edizioni Pieroni, Rome 1987; L’ottava, edizioni Locus Solus, Genoa 1989; Il Cantiere Remo Salvadori, edizioni Tra Art, Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci, Prato 2004; L’osservatore non l’oggetto osservato, edizioni Charta, Milan 2005; Remo Salvadori, Quaderni Stein, Electa editore, 2010; Isola, Isole, Insulae, Johann e Levi Editori, Monza 2012; L’acqua è maestra, 24 Ore Cultura, Milan 2016. In 2019, he received the 2019 President of the Republic Award for Sculpture.
